Mohamed Diomande and Ridvan Yilmaz will remain sidelined for Rangers against Dundee.
The Ibrox duo were not involved in the 3-2 loss to Ross County at the weekend through injury.
And Philippe Clement has confirmed the pair will remain out for the trip to Dens Park.
The Rangers manager also revealed Leon Balogun won't be fully fit for the fixture having battled a sickness bug during the week.
Clement explained: "Ridvan Yilmaz and Mohamed Diomande won't be ready for tomorrow, Leon Balogun has been sick the past few days so he is not totally fit.
"It is about others stepping up when players are out."
Pushed on the fitness of Yilmaz, Clement added: "Ridvan Yilmaz will be back relatively soon, he is training individually on pitch but not back with the squad yet."

On the decision for the match to go ahead at Dens Park after previous issues with the surface, Clement stated: "Those who have decided the game will go ahead are sure it will take place at Dens Park tomorrow.
"They are aware of the forecast and are sure the pitch will cope with that."
Reflecting on defeat at the weekend, Clement said: "We can only focus on ourselves and our football - we were unhappy with our performance at the weekend. The players were disappointed in themselves but it is important we stick together.
"We have debriefed on what went wrong and how we can make it better again.
"Every manager has these moments, even with teams that win. It is part of the game, it is not something you want - but the important thing is how you react and I have a good feeling around that."
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
